Описание: Creativity & Constraint, A Wising Up Anthology Heather Tosteson, Charles D. Brockett, Kerry Langan, Michele Markarian, Editors We often think of true creativity as unfettered liberty-but is creativity something that only takes root, flourishes, within bounds? What happens to our ideas if they must work their way through the material world-often being materially changed in the process? Why is it that we often feel more empowered, more intimately related within the artifice of a story, a song, a painting than we do in the world at large? What do we learn when we try to take that expansiveness back out into the world? What, if anything, do experiences of creativity and constraint have to do with real world challenges, where our desires and drives are checked daily, where our playing fields are far from level, where hard work isn't always rewarded? Join forty writers of poetry, fiction and memoir as they muse on the various permutations of creativity and constraint in their own lives and in their artistic process.

Описание: CONNECTED: What Remains As We All Change? A Wising Up Anthology Heather Tosteson and Charles D. Brockett, Editors We talk about the need to connect intimately, but do we recognize connection when it's here or only in retrospect? Is a feeling of connection something we can will into being-or something that, like grace, surprises us when we least expect it? Does it bear any relation to what we imagined it would be? What, if anything, does it have to do with love? With time's continuousness and mutability? With our own? In this anthology, thirty-two talented writers invite us to explore with them, through story, memoir, and poetry, what remains as we all change-within families, between friends, between lovers, through childhood, adolescence, adulthood, career change, gender change, marriage, parenthood, divorce, illness, disability, and death. The writing here is strikingly mature-and lively-whether the writer is nineteen or ninety. Join, among others, a father wryly observing his grown son, wondering what links them both to the child he will never be again; a man cherishing his tie with an institutionalized brother; a woman exploring the complex, formative cross-racial bond she had with a childhood caretaker; women, friends since childhood, exploring what connects them now that their paths have diverged so greatly; a man with a severely disabled son puzzling the bonds he still has with his ex-wife; a wife of fifty years warily contemplating the advisability of an eternal marriage.

Описание: Excerpt from Paris Under the Commune, or the Red Rebellion of 1871: A Second Reign of Terror, Murder, and Madness, Embracing the Full Text of the Final Treaty of Peace Between Germany and France, Being the Only Translation in English To the great majority of intelligent readers, the con fused and contradictory reports and letters in the daily papers concerning the insurrection in Paris, have rendered the whole affair a hopeless muddle. They have found themselves unable to distinguish who the leaders of the Commune were, what they wanted, or for what they were fighting. Yet this insurrection will occupy, as it should, a large space in history, for in all respects it has been more terrible and destructive, though less protracted, than the Reign Of Terror Of the First French Revolution.

How can they license people to drive, and require degrees for most professions... and not require formal training to become a parent? Parenting is one of those few occupations where we are constantly forced to learn "on the job."
This book presents extraordinary wisdom from ordinary parents who, like you, have had to learn on the job. These stories and insights come from a diverse group of adults, representing a cross-section of American moms and dads.
From a mother of a teenage son, we learn how to correct years of enabling. From parents who have lost a son in a military accident, we learn how to go on. From a husband who discovers his wife has put their daughter's jeans in the freezer, we learn to find humor in those crazy moments of parenting. In each case, these men and women come out wiser - offering us all lessons on this difficult, funny, and taxing enterprise of child rearing.
Open this book...and you may just find a page that is missing from your parent handbook.
